First separate edition. The Priapeia consists of poems written in praise of the god Priapus and epigrams transcribed from statues and other images representing him. The verses were largely lost for a millenium until the 14th century. They were accepted as the work of Virgil and their first appearances in print were in editions of his writings. Aldus had included the Priapeia in his 1505 Virgil, based on a manuscript owned by Pietro Bembo. The present edition corrects their 1505 printing.
